(54) IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM


(57) Resulting from a reduction in the accuracy of a feature point obtained from a viewpoint inclined with respect to the front direction of an object, the estimation accuracy of three-dimensional coordinates of the feature point is reduced. Consequently, from each of a plurality of images captured from a plurality of viewpoints, the feature point of the object is detected (202) and attribute information indicating which area of the object the detected feature point belongs to is appended (203) to the detected feature point. Then, for each of the same attribute information, the three-dimensional coordinates of the feature point are calculated (204) by using two-dimensional coordinates of the feature point on the image corresponding to the viewpoints not more than the plurality of viewpoints and not less than two.
